Life, Unexpected: When A Normal Child Starts To Behave Strangely - Part 1/4 | Full Episode

Episode 1 introduces families navigating some of the most difficult realities of paediatric palliative care. We meet nine-year-old Irfan, whose parents recount his journey from a healthy, bubbly infant to a child living with a rare genetic disease that has left him non-verbal and dependent on round-the-clock tube feeding. The episode also follows Rae and Ryan, parents to 21-year-old Rachael, who has lived with a rare chromosome disorder since birth. As Rachael’s condition deteriorates, they face an agonising decision — whether to continue life-sustaining measures or allow her life to come to a natural close. Through these families, the episode explores love, loss, and the weight of choices no parent ever expects to make.
